I  Dave Fesmire,  a former “Slick” crewchief with the 4 Horsemen Aerolift platoon of C Troop (AIR) 16th Cavalry. Like most, I came home from Vietnam, put it in the back corners of my mind and went on with life. Several years ago I began to wonder what ever happened to the rest of the guys. I was thinking "I'm OK, are they?".

So, what initially started out as a search for my doorgunner and a few other crew members I flew with, has turned into a unit database for us all. I have found, located or at least accounted for well over 600 of us so far.

This page will be for us all. I plan to update it as often as possible. So, eventually, it becomes a place for pictures, stories, and anything else we can think of. Please have patience as we build a place where we can tell "The rest of the story". The job we were given to do. For we believe we did it very well. While some may consider it just more war stories, this is the way it was for us, during our time "Across the Pond".

“Prepared and Loyal, Sir!”     Dave Fesmire,  and this we shall do!!!!
